They will be able to hide the past from their future generations but they will never be able to hide the crimes of the USSR from the rest of the world.
The USSR was a genocidal and oppressive state and its fall was the best not only for the world but for the Russians themselves.
They will say that after the fall there was a great economic and social crisis, but the situation in the Soviet Union was totally unsustainable and today it is already a country with good living conditions.
They have done since forever.
As a one who is being Russian, I can assure you that – Yes, current Russian government do a lot (and already did) for erasing memory of Soviet repressions. Why? Because a lot of Russian politicians connected to repressions (theirs relatives could be whose who responsible for repressions)
